Communication networks

Clean agent suppression provides effective protection for these mission-critical environments.

Electrical and Control Rooms

Electrical panels, switchboards, automation controls and communication equipment can develop fires from overheating, insulation failure, loose electrical connections or short circuits.

Clean agent suppression helps control electrical fires without introducing conductive water into energized equipment areas.

UPS and Power Backup Rooms

Continuous power availability is critical in hospitals. UPS installations and associated electrical equipment therefore require carefully engineered fire protection.

A clean agent system can form part of an overall fire safety strategy for UPS and power-management rooms, subject to the specific battery technology and hazard assessment.

Medical Equipment Rooms

Hospitals use sophisticated and expensive medical equipment. Selected equipment rooms and associated technical spaces may benefit from clean agent suppression where water damage represents a significant concern.

Diagnostic and Imaging Support Areas

Supporting technical rooms associated with diagnostic equipment can contain computers, electrical panels, controls and communication systems.

Properly selected clean agent suppression can help safeguard these high-value installations.

Hospital Communication Rooms

Hospital telephone, networking, nurse-call and emergency communication systems are essential during normal operation and emergencies.

Clean agent suppression can protect communication infrastructure while minimizing operational interruption.

Medical Record and Archive Rooms

Where hospitals maintain important physical records, documents or specialized archives, clean agent suppression can provide fire protection without the water damage associated with conventional suppression methods.

Clean Agent Fire Suppression System Working Principle

A typical hospital clean agent suppression system combines automatic fire detection with an engineered extinguishing-agent distribution arrangement.

The system generally consists of:

Fire Detection Devices
Smoke or other suitable detectors continuously monitor the protected room.
Fire Alarm and Gas Release Control Panel
The control panel receives signals from detectors and operates the programmed releasing sequence.
Pre-Discharge Alarm
Audio-visual warning devices alert personnel before agent discharge.
Clean Agent Cylinder Assembly
The calculated quantity of extinguishing agent is stored inside approved cylinder assemblies.
Discharge Valve and Actuation Arrangement
The release mechanism initiates agent discharge following the approved operating sequence.
Distribution Piping
Engineered piping transports the extinguishing agent to discharge nozzles.
Discharge Nozzles
Nozzles are positioned according to hydraulic/flow calculations to achieve the required distribution within the protected enclosure.
Manual Release Station
Allows trained personnel to manually initiate suppression when required.
Abort Facility
Where provided by the system design, the abort device can delay or interrupt automatic discharge according to the configured releasing philosophy.
Pressure Monitoring and Accessories
Suitable monitoring accessories support system supervision and maintenance.

Clean Agent Suppression System Design for Hospitals

An effective clean agent system cannot be selected solely on the basis of room dimensions. Every project should be evaluated based on the actual hazard and enclosure conditions.

LIFEGUARD® supports an engineering approach considering factors such as:

Room length, width and height
Gross and net enclosure volume
Raised floor volume
False ceiling volume
Equipment arrangement
Hazard classification
Clean agent selection
Required design concentration
Minimum design concentration
Ambient temperature
Site elevation
Cylinder capacity
Cylinder location
Pipe routing
Pipe sizes
Number of nozzles
Nozzle orientation
Discharge characteristics
Ventilation conditions
Pressure relief requirements
Door and penetration conditions
Enclosure integrity
Detection philosophy
Manual release requirements
Abort requirements
Interface with HVAC systems
Interface with fire alarm/BMS systems

Correct engineering is particularly important because insufficient agent concentration or poor distribution can reduce system performance.

Engineered Piping and Nozzle Design

Clean agent systems must distribute the extinguishing medium throughout the protected enclosure within the required discharge conditions.

Depending on the selected system, engineering calculations may be used to determine:

Agent quantity
Cylinder configuration
Pipe diameter
Pipe length
Pipe network arrangement
Tee configuration
Nozzle size
Nozzle quantity
Nozzle location
Predicted flow rate
Discharge time
Predicted enclosure concentration

LIFEGUARD® focuses on properly engineered layouts rather than adopting a generic one-system-fits-all approach.

Enclosure Integrity – An Important Part of Hospital Clean Agent Protection

Clean agent suppression is based on maintaining an effective extinguishing concentration inside the protected enclosure.

Uncontrolled leakage through doors, cable openings, ducts or wall penetrations can reduce agent retention and therefore affect suppression performance.

Important enclosure considerations include:

Door gaps
Cable penetrations
Pipe penetrations
Wall openings
Ceiling openings
Raised-floor penetrations
HVAC ducts
Ventilation openings

An enclosure integrity assessment or door-fan testing may be specified to evaluate whether the protected room can retain the extinguishing concentration for the required duration.

Hospital projects require additional attention because many facilities operate continuously and may contain staff, patients or maintenance personnel.

System design should therefore include appropriate consideration of:

Agent safety characteristics
Design concentration
Exposure limits
Pre-discharge alarms
Emergency evacuation
Manual release controls
Abort controls where applicable
Warning signage
Training
System isolation procedures
Maintenance procedures

All installations should follow the applicable codes, project specifications and local authority requirements.
